The Queer Quadrant

Published by The Queer Quadrant

  • TV & film
  • Film history

Four-quadrant films are movies designed to appeal to the biggest, widest audience possible. In the process, they can often leave out a lot of LGBTQ+ representation – but end up loaded with subtext. In The Queer Quadrant, hosts Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson examine cinema in all its cultural contexts, and explore why your favorite four-quadrant blockbuster is maybe…not as straight as you think it is.

    Phillip Iscove (Podcast Like It's the 2000s) rejoins for this 2000 drama that has been basically erased from existence.

    Be the fourth in our coven as we dive in this fashion-forward horror! Brooke tries to map these teen witches to the four elements, Jordan fears the very practical thousands of snakes used in this film, and Roxana has excellent thoughts on the 1990s guardrails for young female characters, dropped plotlines, and "Jock Skeet."
